I am looking at getting back into biking and have been looking at new road bikes and I am looking
for advice. I am looking to ride for fitness and distance riding (centuries, etc).
I own a '93 Specialized Sirrus Cro-Moly bike - I have never felt comfortable with it - which is the
main reason I quit riding - I felt "beat" up by the bike - numb hands, sore rear, etc. I have had it
adjusted many times with no relief. Also, the Suntour components have been a pain...
I have been looking at the newer comfort bikes like the Specialized Sequoia Comp and the Trek
1800C(04) / 2200C(03). I was also looking at the Specialized Roubaix - more into the performance end
but the sales guy said that it would probably be more comfortable than my old Sirrus....
Are the newer comfort bikes all that they promise? Or is it better to go into a lower end
performance bike? Also, any other brands/models that I should look at? I started with Specialized
and Trek because I am the most familiar with them.
Thanks Mike
